RADIATION-DAMAGE IN TRIGLYCINE SULFATE DUE TO MONOENERGETIC ELECTRONS

In triglycine sulfate (TGS), subjected to irradiation with a beam of monoenergetic electrons in a Van de Graaff accelerator, the dependence of an internal bias E//b and a shift DELTA T// epsilon (maximum) in temperature of the electric permittivity maximum on the incident electron energy xi //0 and the thickness d of the sample were measured. It is found that the penetration range of the electrons can be determined by measuring the thickness dependence of DELTA T// epsilon (maximum). Losses in energy of electrons and effective cross-sections for displacement of the various atomic species in TGS were calculated. Graphs and equations are included in data.
